|

 In a letter to the Ohio Division of Forestry, the Buckeye Forest Council, Ohio Environmental Council and Ohio Sierra Club requested that the division provide justification for their decision to cut trees a healthy, mature section within the Hocking State Forest.
In addition, the groups are asking the Ohio Division of Forestry to adjust the delineation of two cutting sections in order to provide a buffer zone between the logging activities and a protected ravine.
Above: Forest Watch volunteer Mark Bailey stands next to a tree marked for cutting. The tree is located on a slope along a drainage that leads directly to a protected ravine. Erosion is a concern.
